| 1. A system comprising:
identification logic adapted to identify a searchable segment of a document, the searchable segment being identified in accordance
with an identification criterion;
image-generation logic adapted to generate a first image from the searchable segment, the first image being a substantially
unsearchable representation of the searchable segment; and
substitution logic adapted to substitute the searchable segment with a reference to the generated first image, such that the
reference facilitates display of the generated first image to a user in substitution for the identified searchable segment
in the document,
wherein upon a user selection of the displayed generated first image, the substitution logic is configured to provide the
searchable segment for editing, wherein, upon providing the searchable segment, the user may edit the searchable segment and
upon completion of editing of the searchable segment, the image-generation logic generates a second image that is a substantially
unsearchable representation of the edited searchable segment.
